This man G. q. Hoffman, has risen by the
use of Botanic Blood Balm Oh. Il. b. TO his
present wonderful improved condition. In
a short time his homeless forehead will be
fully healed, and he will stand monument
of humanity raised from the verge of death.
Few persons ever recover from such low
state, being on a dying bed from that fell
destroyer, blood boison, with the bones OF
his forehead rotted and taken out 23x3
inches by the doctors, and given out to die:
From skin and bones, wrecked by blood
poison, to health and sound flesh, is the
work of b. b. b.
Not many such desperate cases may be
found, but when they are they should not
despair of recovery, as b. ID. b. will cure
them.
When this medicine can cure such ex-
IRENE cases; is II not reasonable that II Will
cure all cases of blood poson Of less VIC
lence, as 1t has done in thousands OF In

A MISUNDERSTANDING

The HERALD regrettully refers to it,
but as reports have been published,
feels called upon to explain that the
little unpleasantnes occasioned at the
Fort by an invitation from Dallas was
altogether due to a misunderstanding
The Association had accepted an invi-
tation from the Western Newspaper
Union to visit Dallas, and there was
hardly thought and certainly not a
word of objection from any citizen OF
Fort Worth. When Col. Hall met
The members and stated the invitation
from Dallas, the situation as above
was explained to him, and Col. Hall
concurrcd with the assurance that
Dallas business men would join
in the entertainment of tho visitors
Just at this point two members of the
Association present, thought they saw
an improperly in the excursion to
Dallas, and they spoke of the SEEM
ing Ito them) discourtesy in coming
to Dallas, at this time, as an Associa-
ton, because of rivalry between the
two cities. Had not this thought
come from some of the guests them
selves, there would doubtless have
been no feeling over the matter. Dali
las had a precedent for this in the
meetings both at Houston and San
Antonio; but by some means few
FortWorth citizens misunderstood the
motive. As soon as II was known that

THE CANADIANS DEFENCE.
Mr.. Drake Hunts Up American Au-
thority to Support His Case.

OTTAWA, Sept. 26,-The government has
received the text 1.-THE brief filed by Mr..
Drake, Q. c., on behalf of the masters and
owners of the sealers seized in Behring's
sea. The brief questions the sufficiency of the
scope OF the act under which the charges were
made, the act only prohibiting the killing of
FUR bearing animals within the limit of
Alaska Territory or the waters thereof
ms clause, Mr.. Drake contends, cannot
possibly include Behring's Sea as that sea is
neither gulf nor bay, and not landlocked
Dy lands OF the United States. In this con-
nectlon, he quotes Wharton, the American
authority Of note. Wharton states that a
vessel on the high seas beyond the distance
OF marine league from the shore is regarded
as on part of the territory of a nation to
which she belongs.
When Russia asserted her right to the ex-
elusive use of all waters from Behring
100 miles adjacent to all her territory and
islands the United States were the first to
protest. The American minister at st.
Petersburg then said,I"the existence of ter
ritorial rights to a distance Of one hundred
miles from the coast Is an innovation on the
law OF nations and ameasure unexampled ("
This vigorous protest on the part of the
American minister, seconded by the repudia-
tion by Great Britain of the existence of
such claim, effectually silenced Russia.
Kent, another American authority saws (:
sed as private property The free use of the
ocean for navigation and fishing is common
to all mankind"
Based on these, Mr.. Drake filed a demurrer
in court at Sitka on behalf Of the Owners
and masters.

Narrow Escape of an Express Train
on the Fitchburg Road.

Troy, N. Y, Sept 26.-An attempt was
made last evening to wreck the st. Louis ex-
press on the Fitchburg road, near South
Pownal. Vt, by pilIng nine ties on the track.
The first section Of the train left North Ad-
ans at $50 o'clock As he approached the
place the engineer saw the obstruction and

minutes behind 1t is believed that plot
to wreck the train at the same point has
been brewing for several months. At the
time of the accident to a train of California
excursionists in June, when several persons
were injured, the trouble was caused by a
switch left half open. Later a collision be-
tween two freghts was caused by the same
method. In both instances the operator
was discharged. A third time switch was
misplaced, the attempt was discovered in
time to prevent disaster. 1t is Thought
that the same person was at the bottom OF
all the attempts. Superintendent Crandall
has gone to the place and thorough inves,
tiQatiOn will be made.

Good News for Bath,

has been considerable talk in Bath about
establishing an iron shipbuilding plant in

Young Mems Business Club have discussed
the subject at their meetings. At one time
it seemed that the capitalists would take
hold of the matter and invest $4,000 or $685.

tanned, it was said, plant might be built.
That opportunity has arrived. Captain Goss,
president and contracting agent of the New
England Shpbullding Company, whose office
is in New York, has been in Bath for the
purpose of getting the capitalists, especially
those interested in shipbuilding, to build an
iron shipbuilding plant. An offer from New
York and Rhode Island has been made to
the captain to have an iron steamship built
of about 1900 tons, which will cost about
1925 900 to build.

Citizen Train Makes a Speech and
Socialists Cause a Row.

Francis Train. who hasn't spokon e,oorco

Square Park for over decade, broke his
long silence toward the adult world last
night in Webster Hall, on East Eleventh
street, in fantastic speech in behalf of the
condemned Anarchists. Eight hundred men
and women, Socialists and Anarchists,
crowded into the hall to hear him, and paid
% cents each to get past the doorkeeper
Everybody had to pay the quarter, even to
the policemen in citizens dress. Citizen
Train paid his own way into the bargain.
During the fight in the Central Labor I'm
ion last night, In which the Socialists gained
a victory by passing resolution sympa-
thizing with the condemned Anarchists, Geo.
Block, secretary of the Bakers National
Union, a hot Socialist, made speech. He
SAID the Anarchists were fighting for the
cause of labor and free speech. The morn

RACE WAR IN TEXAS.
Armed Negroes Ready to Give Bat
tie to the whites.

Houston, Texas, Sept. 26.-Word was
brought in last evening that an insurrection
was imminent among the blacks in Mata-
gera County. The sheriff sent a courier to
the sheriff of Brazoria County asking imme-
diate assistance to put down the insurrec-
tion. He stated that 200 negroes were under
arms in Matagera and the excitement among
the whites was very great. The trouble
arose over an attempt of a colored constable
to arrest white man. The constable was
found dead in a creek and the negroes believe
he was murdered by the whites because he
had warrant. The sheriff of Brazoria
County raised a posse Of fifty mounted
whites and started for Matagorda. The
sheriff of Matagorda County is en- route to
the scene with 100 mounted men. A later re-
port says that hostilities have begun. The
negroes are largely reinforced. The Hous-

Illegal Fishing.

Boston, Sept 26.-The first prosecution of
the season on the Rangeley Lakes for illegal
fishing, was instituted last Wednesday BY
George D. Huntoon, game and fish warden
Of Rangeley. The defendants were A. S.
Stewart of New York, and Mark Hollings-
worth of Boston. Each agreed to plead
guilty before trial justice at Andover, and
they paid $25 and $2S respectively. Ten
days ago two handsome trout were put on
exhibition in Appleton 81 Litchfeld's on
Washington street. 1t amused the fishermen
at Rangeley, for they say that Mr.. Stewart,
although he is the vice president of the New
York Rod and Reel Club, was one of a party
at the upper dam who were taking the big
gest trout from a pool below the apron Of
the dam by means of "silent doctor"
They have taken at least 800 pounds. Their
apparatus was not exactly a grapple. 1t
was line equipped with several large hooks
undated, and by juggling with this in the
pool they hooked the troutin great numbers.
The warden could find but three fish in their
possession, but all were hooked in the side
or under the mouth.
